The Speaker’s Lobby: New Members

House Republicans relished a sideshow created when Democratic freshman Michigan Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib stole headlines about the government shutdown, she claimed House Democrats will impeach the President.

Only, Tlaib used a much more vulgar term that that.

Republicans liked the fact that Tlaib's remark may help them define freshman Democrats.

Many have heard of Democratic New York freshman Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

She's presented unvarnished liberalism.

A push for a "new green deal" and higher taxes.

That may work in the Bronx and other leftist bastions.

But does the public know much about moderate freshmen Democrats who won in November?
